What year Civic?

The TPS is located on the throttle body. TPS fasteners generally must be drilled out to remove the sensor. Are you sure you removed the TPS? If so, the TPS must be calibrated when installed (0.5V close throttle, 4.5V wide open throttle). Can you post pictures?

Bleed the cooling system of possible trapped air (diagram) and also try cleaning the IACV (see forum DIY section).

I have never removed the MAP sensor, but I assume there is a rubber seal between the sensor and throttle body. Check whether this seal is damaged or leaking.
